looking at a photo of Picasso painting wwith a ray of light , I thought to experiment myself. all u need is a digital cam that lets u choose a long pose , I did 10 " and 15 " ones, a torch that you need to mask in a way that only a fine little ray of light will go out and you'r set.
the result is amasing; I'm going back to do some more. I poste a cupple here and the rest on :

    Those are really great! I like how the line varies between gray and white.
    • Moox: I just came upon these myself, I was looking for your address to thank you for your advice on how to set up a show for '60 pieces' of artwork. With your insight, we did well, the show was 2 nights ago and the artists themselves were very pleased and happy with the arrangements and lighting. Thank you again.

      By the way, these are excellent light pictures, really wonderful. I am an experimentor with my digital camera now, so I'm really interested in learning specifically how you achieved this. I am a novice though, so I need basic language. Thanks again and be well, Diana
      • hi Diana, cool news with your show , the one I'm participating to will end tomorow and went fine too although a lot of our firends just did nt show up.
        for the light painting, nothing more simple : take a usual flash light, mask it so as to get jsut a tiny little hole where the light will beam through. set your didgital cam to a priority to speed program, choose 10 " or 5 or 15 depending on the complexity of your gesture and the time u need to do your figure .... put yourself in total dark of course , and don't forget to trim the distance so your beam of light is nt to blurry
        last but not least , share the result with us :)
